Anyway, here's a cool video of a 100 hour Enzo detail: Topaz Detailing London - Ferrari Enzo Detail (120 hours) - YouTube

It's odd that the world's "best" detailers are all (I saw several videos last night) doing the hand-application. Makes zero, and I mean ZERO, sense to me. I just looked at my own hands, and they are dry, callused, rough meat-claws, haha! Not something I want to be rubbing and wiping and massaging over something I just spent days or hours correcting and buffing. Truly odd.

Thank you for cleaning that up. My follow up video to the 'guess the wax' video states exactly how I feel about waxes. I have yet to see one sailor on any ship in the Navy putting wax on the brass in order to make it shine. I have yet to see one Marine or Army soldier putting wax on their boots to make them shine. I have yet to see one person use wax on their exhaust tips in order to make them shine. I have yet to see one person use wax to make jewelry or aluminum wheels shine. Why is that?
Because polish=shine, wax=protection. Period.

Re: Pinnacle vs Meg.
I don't know about "Period" Junkman,
I have seen armed service personnel and civilians alike, put wax on their heads to make them shine.
Don't know what pads, compounds or polishers were used beforehand.

I can put baby oil on my head to make it shine. Does that mean that baby oil should be used on car paint? I know for a fact that baby oil will make paint shine, while collecting every dust particle on the planet.
I think that I will stick with my 'period'.
